I have a spare inegrated amp that I want to use with an external amplifier. Is it possible for me to connect the external amp if there is no pre-outs?

You could mod the integrated and add pre-out jacks...Originally posted by Infinite Mind

No...there's no drive capability there.In most cases wouldn't ya just make a connection to the center volume tap and ground for a pre amp out?
I wouldn't recommend this. The headphone jack is driven by the amp output stage...voltage levels all wrong for your purpose, among a slew of other reasons why this is a bad idea.Does using the headphone out jack degrade the quality of the pre-amp section?
Every amp is different, so I'm at a loss to recommend something specific to your Lux. Units I've done this to required a bit of study to determine the best place to break the chain.Also, EW, if I where to add-in permanent pre-outs where would you suggest that I pull the signal from?
That's cheating!!Originally posted by Gerrit
IM,
Not a unique requirement whatsover.
You just need to build a simple circuit (the same circuit used in plate amps to convert speaker level to line level).
The parts quality will vary depending on your needs (plate amps use resistors but they only have to do bass so parts quality is negleble). If you have serious intentions it will be better to use transformers.
Chech out this site: http://www.hut.fi/Misc/Electronics/circuits/speaker_to_line.html
or google with "speaker signal to line level" You will find more info than you will ever need
Hope this help, if not post again and I can mebe help with the math.
Best Regards and welcome
